TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in his arraignment at a New York court. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office alleges that Trump orchestrated a scheme to suppress damaging stories and made false statements on business records to cover up other crimes relating to the 2016 election. Trump's attorney claims his client is being targeted because of politics, while the district attorney says the evidence will show that Trump made false statements to cover up crimes relating to the 2016 election. Trump's arraignment was held behind closed doors, and he is scheduled to speak from Mar-a-Lago later in the evening.
